• select a function: the file is visited
• C-x C-k : kill the visited file buffer
• select the same function again:

Are you sent to the Emacs debugger when one of these errors occur? Because I'm not, but I would like to. I just get the error message in Emacs status bar.

I have debug-on-error set to true, but the debugger does not appear when I run things from a command or interactively (it seems ...)

For some reason, my debug-on-error was set to true, not to t. Perhaps only t is ignored from call-interactive, but other true values are not? I should reboot my emacs, there are strange things occuring. "Up 17d 13h 9m 28s (Tue 2021-07-13 12:03:11), 142 buffers, 42 files" But I believe it should show the Backtrace when debug-on-error is true even for interactive calls.
